Chapter 3

Elysse's POV

After my talk with My Cousin , I decided not to stay in the room with him any longer since the air inside feels like suffocating. I went out and is planning  to stay at the bartender station downstairs and wait for the Archi's to arrive.

I haven't really had  a good look of the place earlier when I was following  the person who is guiding me to the VIP room where my cousin is at  but this Place is indeed a beauty. A little bit noisy for my liking of course it's a bar but the way they design the place is so aesthetically pleasing. 

But then Alcohol , Girls and Boys grinding at each other and Drugs is everywhere. I stopped  and looked down to see everyone is dancing at the dance floor, It's getting wild . I guess the fun time is getting started. 

VIP rooms are at the second floor of this place and from second floor you can see what is happening downstairs. few table were set up in front of the VIP rooms beside the railing where you can look down to see what is happening down stairs and I can already see some VIPs na tumatambay sa labas ng rooms nila and were  prolly looking for their next prey fro on of those who are enjoying their night down at the dance floor.

When I say VIP they were not just people that has money or celebrities  or some politicians that were usually considered VIP already, They might be considered predators in the eye of the public but in business world they were merely a prey. VIPs here in N-G were people coming from old money, billionaires, Royalties and Mafias. People that can make you or break you easily. If you think the President is the most powerful person in the Philippines then I think you haven't seen the people in the business world yet. President is  just a puppet that plays powerful in the eye of the public but behind the scene he licks the shoes of his master. 

When I got to the Bartender Station I sat down and asked for water. One Rule I stick with when Doing the Bet is to never get drunk. I might look like nag wawalwal but I am actually a lightweight. That's why I don't drink without Zee.

"A pretty girl like you deserve a sex on the beach, why don't I buy you one and in exchange have a sex with me?" A man sitting beside beside me said. Is that how he gets someone on his bed? 

This Guy look so familiar tho, I think I have seen him on some tv show.

"Your line is as bland as this water, Why Don't I treat you one shot of bacardi instead para mahimasmasan ka at ma realize mo kung gano ka ka pangit" that left him in shock

"Oh ano ? Mukhang di mo namam first time masabihan ng pangit ah, why act shocked now?" Pakutsyada ko uli sa kaniya.

He is fuming at this point, He was about to charge at me when Another guy interrupt and pull him back. 

The Guy doesn't look like he is just some sort of celebrity or influencer that want to have a fun night. He looks like one of those VIPs. Black shirt with rolled up sleeves showing his tattoos, 3 buttons undone slightly showing his tattooed chest too He is basically covered with tattoos except for his face . Kasi halos lahat ng skin na nakalabas merong tattoo. And one ting that is most attractive about him is his long hair in messy ponytail. Damn! I am a simp pa naman for long haired guy.

"And what is the highest paid actor doing here charging his 6ft ass into a 5'2 cute poor woman here?" 5'2? IS HE REFERRING TO ME!?

"EXCUSE ME!? I AM 5'5 NOT 5'2!" you can insult me with anything just leave my height  alone !

"honey it's not the time to argue with your height when there is 6ft here trying to charge at you" well is it my fault that a mere side remaark wounded his ego already

"You can make a scene all you want Mr. O'Pry but not tonight. He will be here anytime now and if you want to be able to comeback here again then I advise you to keep your cool, We don't want that face of yours all bruise up when it's where your money coming from" and with that bigla naman natauhan si Pangit. He calmed down and the pretty boy let go of him but who is the Guy the pretty boy referring to bakit biglang parang aso na takot si pangit? Is he referring to the Archibald Twins?

He threw me a deadly look as if that will affect me but before he could even move far from us the crowd suddenly went silent , you can only hear the music from the background and mistulang naging red sea nahinati and there is the most beautiful guy I've seen walking past through the crowd and he is going right at US??

As he getting closer at us I saw the glimpse of his Red Crystal eyes

"An Archibald" I whispered to myself

That woke me up from day dreaming wait wait how can I daydream when it's night time!? but fuck I need to get out from here I know I have something that I have to get from him before this night ends but this night is far from ending so I dont have to meet him yet when he just got here. 

I flee from the scene as fast as I can and I turn to have a look, I saw him Approach the pretty boy. 

"So he knows the pretty boy thats why he was walking at us" Whispered to myself again. 

Me and the Archibald has never really had any interaction yet, I've seen them on some parties we've attended when I was a kid but since the tragic accident of the old Archi they barely went to any parties and if they do they usually just talk to important people close doors. Especially the eldest between the twins. Even on news they don' t show or release his photos. So seeing one of the twins tonight feels weird.

Now how will I be able to get that lip ring? Is it right to take on this bet? Or did I made an impulsive decision again.

and as this night went by with me hiding in the dark waiting for a right time to approach an Archibald I did not notice that the water I was drinking was spiked 

and the next thing I know I am already wrapped in the arms of my prey.
